Improving services to clients with easy analytics

Watson Analytics helped Mears Group analyze data to better target rapid response and planned maintenance services to 1 million homes in the UK. Before implementing Watson Analytics Professional, they used spreadsheets, which meant they had guess at trends and then work backwards to validate their assumptions. “With IBM Watson Analytics, we simply upload a set of unstructured data into the cloud, and the solution automatically detects hidden trends, and suggests additional types of analysis we might want to perform,” says John Brett, IT and Business System Director at Mears Group.
